Arsenal’s interest was revealed by Tuttomercato, who also claimed Monaco have offered just under £31m too.

Now, according to Calcionews24, the north London rivals are ready to battle Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund for the 21-year-old.

However, the report does state that Roma are holding out for a whopping €50m if they are to part with their prized young star.

Arsenal boss Unai Emery and director of football Sven Mislintat are known to be looking to add more width to their attack with striker Pierre-Emerick Aubamayeng often asked to start out side to accommodate Alexandre Lacazette.
